Dinosaur Jr, Wedding Present and Teenage Fanclub new albums and for bonus stuck in the past points they are all on vinyl.
Dead Kennedy's
Horace Andy
The Streets
Literally changes all the time, because when I’m listening to music on my phone at work it’s always on shuffle, and I have over 38,000 tracks on it, that’s actual downloads not streamed. I did listen to a couple of Elbow’s albums last night, ‘Cast Of Thousands’ and ‘Elbowrooms’, and I was listening to Guy Garvey and Amy Lamá earlier, and Shazamed a few things.
top few at the mo
Squid - Bright Green Field
Gabriels - Love & Hate in a Different Time
Schneider TM - The 8 of Space
Blanck Mass - Calm With Horses ST

Teenage Fanclub
Blimmin eck , Ididn't know they were still going, although I always liked their '13' album which is not thier normal M.O. from what I understand.
Today:
Shame - Songs of Praise
Destroyer - Have We Met
James Brown - The Payback
Yesterday:
Angel Olsen - My Woman
Otoboke Beaver - Itekoma Hits
Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness
(Edit, looks like I’m having gender-alternate days. Always was comfortable in skirt & work-boots 😎)
New J.Cole The Offseason pretty much solid since Friday. By far one of the greatest rappers of this generation.
Psy - gangnam style
Harry styles - watermelon sugar
Idina menzel - into the unknown
Highly likely to be next: 2020 - Richard Dawson
Currently: Birthday - Pom Poko
Previously: B'lieve I'm Goin Down - Kurt Vile
Before that: Dr Octagonecologyst - Dr Octagon
I tend to listen to an album for ages. I'm getting close to feeling the need to swap the current batch in the car (those up there ^, plus a couple more), but not quite there yet.
I'm never more than a couple of albums from a Wedding Present or Cinerama moment. I love the Locked Down and Stripped Back semi acoustic currently.
But also IDLES - Joy as an Act of Resistance has been a regular but after the FA Cup ident and sadexpunk's identification I've listened to ULTRA MONO 3x though taking daughter to theatre rehearsals today. If I've picked up a load of points on the M3, I'll be sending you the fines......
70s rock mix
Heaven and Hell- Sabbath
Royal blood
Robyn and Royksopp
How did I not know that this match up happened?! Will check out their stuff tomorrow, ta.
Last albums I listened to in entity (probably in the last 2-6 weeks):
Astronaut meets appleman by king creosote; free humans by hen ogledd;
And, err, lamb lies down on Broadway by genesis....
UNKLE – Ronin I
This is on repeat in my van. At home it's Sasha's Luzoscora album or radio shows on Openlab. He's playing some fantastic electronic music that wouldn't always fill a dance floor.
Well i plan to listen to the stuff listed above.... i like to diversify my listening
That KC album is brilliant. Got into after months and months of listening to his album with Jon Hopkins… “Diamond Mine”, which everyone should have a listen to.
Manchester Orchestra - “Million masks of god”. It’s got a lot to live up to though, compared to “Last black mile to the surface”.
Looking forward to Wolf Alice’s new album next month, should be brilliant if “The last man on earth” is anything to go by.
Black Mile to the Surface is fantastic, especially The Silence. New one isn’t as good (yet) but is still a really solid album
Currently most listened to
Yabby You - Conquering Lion
Sault - Rise
Gabriels - Love & Hate in a different time
Fredrika Stahl - Deep Breath Then Dive
Janes Addiction - Jane Says

Caution - it’s a bit sweary, punk rock
Ooh, didn't know there's a new Manchester Orchestra out <buys>
Been pretty much alternating between F***ed Up, the new Mogwai album and Titus Andronicus this week.
I bought a pair of £16 Logitech speakers for my PC so started testing some music when I discovered:
German Techno Bunker
Dark Minimal Techno Trip
I like it ... they go "boom, tish, boom, tish, boom, tish ... with some good sound effects which I thought is very nice as background music. Best thing of all nobody is singing.
Or HÖR BERLIN ... "boom, toom, boom, toom, boom, toom" ... Brilliant!
Not sure what they doing with the turntable but I guess mixing some music ... question is if they play those music which is not technically created by them do they have to pay license fees or something ...
Oh ya ... think I need more powerful speakers ... headphone sounds brilliant too.
Just breached the cellophane of On Impulse album by Sonny Rollins. That's currently spinning.
Queen's greatest hits
ABBA Arrival
The Very Best of Sarah Vaughan (gold vinyl!)
The Black Keys - Delta Kream
I haven't listened to them for a while, don't know why I really like them. Love this album with its bluesy feel.
Billie Holiday, Lee Dorsey, Tina Charles and the BeeGees...
I finally got round to getting Apple Music so have been indulging a little ‘retro’ of late.
Also, Rosalías non-cd collaborations.
And Tripping with Nils Frahm and still waiting for the full Hania Rani album to drop.
Lee Dorsey is a good shout. Might have to make a playlist consisting of mainly him and Rufus Thomas
Inez and Charlie Foxx
Rimsky Korsakov
Seeed
I've ended up down some wormhole of music. I've been listening to Japanese Folk Metal, Nekgrogoblikon, and Rainbowdragoneyes....
As per @wordnumb, the new GY!BE album is fantasic, and I'm really enjoying the new John Grant single 'Boy From Michigan' too (which is being played to death on 6Music at the moment).
Other notable mentions in regular rotation are:
clipping. - Splendor and Misery
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Karnivool - Sound Awake
Today I listened to:
Holly Herndon - Proto
Sunn O))) - Pyroclasts
and the new St Vincent album, but I didn't like it.
Crack Cloud
Paul Weller’s new record, Fat Pop
Royal Blood’s new one
Foo Fighters new one
Steely Dan’s, Greatest Hits
Vaya Con Dios, Time Flies
Descendants 3, soundtrack - kids can’t have Daddy’s influences all the time.
One recent song I keep going back to is by Self Esteem - ‘I Do This All The Time’, which I just love to bits! It’s got the Baz Luhrmann thing going on, with the wonderful world-weary delivery.
I rather like the Paul McCartney single that’s out at the moment as well, with Phoebe Bridgers singing, but Phoebe can do no wrong in my book anyway.
And this
Sons of Kemet - Black to the Future has been on repeat quite a bit since the weekend. Been waiting for it for so long, not disappointed.
Stone Giants (Amon Tobin) - West Coast Love Stories, just a single but album due in July.
Floating Points/Pharoah Sanders/LSO - Promises, best thing since the Gabriels EP.
Show Me the Body
The Dreadnoughts
Burning Flag
Tuba Skinny
Manchester Orchestra – “Million masks of god”. It’s got a lot to live up to though, compared to “Last black mile to the surface”
I often find MO are growers. MMoG did prompt me to listen to 'Like a virgin ...' over the weekend too, I have new speakers and needed to hear it through them.
I often drify back into You+Me accidentally and realise I still love it, take some Dallas Green, add some P!nk, shouldn't work, is amazing.
Also, never tire of some things like Of Monsters and men, Ben Howard, Phoebe Bridgers (especially the duet with Nanthaniel Ratcliffe), but then also Bronx, Everytimeidie and as ever a smattering on Thrice and Alexisonfire.
I tend to lean towards classical guitar music.
Bob James
Loose Ends
Herbie Hancock
Chic
Patrice Rushen
Ronnie Laws
Cloud One
Isley Brothers
Earth Wind & Fire
Pieces of a Dream
Hiroshima
Aquarian Dream
Cheers @kelvin Hadn't actually heard La Dusseldorf before so saved it for listening later
My main new stuff from this year has been;
Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg
Arab Strap - As Days Get Dark
I should ask this more often it routes me to stuff i would never find
Clad someone else likes that Arab Strap album…
Album of the year so far for me.
@gordimhor … and to loop up with someone else’s recommendation in another thread… if you’re liking the Harmonia/Neu stuff, check out Trans Am and Phil Manley’s solo stuff (Life Coach).
mmmm.... Trans Am were great. np: Tesco vs Sainsburys.
My video/yutoob habits are different.
Mostly bulerías:

Home was my favourite album of last year. Easy. I think I listened to pretty much nothing but that the whole of July.
the teasers for Music for Film and Theatre make 18 June a loooong way off. I like visuals too.
Nice to see the harder to get cd stuff on Apple Music (like the Portico stuff). I need to get it lined up and listened to properly...
New vinyl turned up in the last couple of weeks mixed in with my usual iTunes randoms ...
• Dexys Midnight Runners: Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
• Amy Winehouse at the BBC

And that’s why I prefer to play on shuffle, I never know what’s going to surprise me, it’s just like my own radio station with no added waffle, and that lot barely got me into the morning.
Today I have mostly listened to
Radiohead - Pyramid Song ep
Rocks Foe - RELX pt1
Maru - Blindfold
21 Savage – Spiral From The Book Of Saw Soundtrack
Found Nekrogoblikon earlier in the year. Still love it. Rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands. Quite silly, but super catchy, and good on proper speakers.
There is a prog rock opera thing going on in there too. something to do with Immortal Goblins from space on a quest to find a way to die.
Uh-huh
For the metal/rock inclined:
Boss Keyloid - progressive heavy rock
Crowbar - Miserable riffed fulled NOLA metal
Gojira - new album, still not back to the heyday, but some good tracks
